This has been a spirited debate for sure. I believe that an alternative to the use of fossil fuels has to be found. At present for small vehicles that appears to be electric. For big engines at present that may not be the answer. Research and invention is the answer and there have been many...

I intend to do Scotland in the next few years as well as the lake district

I sold my boat in November 20. I actually have not missed it much especially as it was not a great summer. Bought a motor home and spend most of my time in it by the sea ?. My bank balance has enjoyed me not having a boat, and the longer I don't have a boat, the more my wallet likes it ?

My mistake then as I did not see that.?

silly mistake I had done once is I had accidentally activated the kill switch, if you have one check that

Ok guys and gals I thought I would give an update. Well I sold my boat in November 2020 and we purchased a motorhome in December 20 which we picked up in Jan 21. We off course went into lockdown again so did not get out at all until April. All I can say is we have no regrets we have done so...

Well just to give you guys an update, having listened to advice I contacted my insurance company and explained the situation, I asked the marina to arrange to get a quote to get it fixed and they gave instructions to go ahead and get the work completed. After discussing with the insurance...

Thanks for all your replies. I should point out my boat is normally on the dry stack so the purchaser has not paid to have it lifted it is part of my contact. We do have evidence of it working before the lift in the means of a video and pictures, and the surveyor was actually present when the...

Ok guys and girls, after some advice or just opinions I am currently selling my boat I have accepted an offer and the boat has done a sea trial. During the sea trial everything worked and we have video evidence to prove it. The boat was then lifted out and placed on a service stack for the...

Thanks that's basically what I am thinking, I took very early retirement (54) so whilst I have some money coming in I am not wealthy, and you have just described what I am looking to do, I presume it's much cheaper which if so will free up at least 6k a year.

Hey guys and girls, I am after some some advice, I am currently considering selling my boat and buying a motor home. Has anyone done it before and what are thier views (or even the other way round) I have had my boat now for 6 years and as much as I love it which I do it is becoming harder...

Southampton's BOATS2020 cancelled over virus fears hours before gates open Looks like it wasn't the boat people organisers that cancelled it

But surely they have had expenses as well (I am not saying they should keep the money either)

Surely they don't have any choice ? It's the new guidance from the government, don't the rules come in from Monday so pointless having a show for one day. But either way I am sure everyone will be losing money including the show organisers.

Actually it's a little more than that, last time I fuelled up it was £1.36 for non berth holders and 0.88 for berth holder (diesel)
